Colouring Books for Adults

I’m loving this new craze of colouring books for adults. I'm sure these books have been around for a while but I've just made the discovery about a month ago.

I’m
not an artistic person but I’ve always had a set of colour pencils with me. I
know it sounds weird but I use it to colour my Moleskine notebook which I use as my daily
planner. When I’m planning my day I use colours to identify meetings, to-do
list, urgent or non- urgent matters etc. I’ve always found colouring an
enjoyable activity, sort of a de-stresser when I list out my often long and
always URGENT to do list.

So, when they started selling the colouring books at MPH I
got myself two copies. These are not the books that I wanted but since it’s my
first time trying this out I got the ones that interested me the most amongst the
pile available at the book store. These are the two copies I got for myself.

I haven’t done much colouring as I’ve been pretty busy lately
but this activity is quite enjoyable to do with the kids. The kids have their
own set of colouring books and colour pencils and we coloured our books together. Though
I have to say the kids need a little bit more practice when it comes to
colouring their books…

I hope I’ll be able to have more time to spend on my
colouring books soon but I’m doing it bit by bit every night. This is my first
attempt which is still a work in progress:

Are you into colouring? Share with me your work in progress, I’d love
to know what you are coloring right now.
